1910 (ca.), Edouard Vuillard, Girl in an Interior -- Tate Britain (London)
From the museum label: Edouard Vuillard's paintings were highly influential on early 20th-century British painters. He carefully studied the everyday objects and furnishings of middle-class interiors and represented his models as they might be seen by a friend or member of their family. He frequently used friends as models, but he was not a portraitist in a traditional sense. 'I don't make portraits', he once said, 'I paint people in their homes'. The model here is Mme Alfred Savoir, known as Miche, an acquaintance of Vuillard's friend and dealer, Jos Hessel.
